According to data released by international market service agency Kepler on the 17th, ship traffic in the Strait of Hormuz continued to weaken on the 16th. It was confirmed that the number of ships passing through the strait fell to 8 on that day, the lowest level in nearly three weeks. According to the data, 7 of the 8 ships that passed through the Strait of Hormuz chose to pass through the Iranian side of the channel on the same day, reflecting the further concentration of ship traffic on this channel after re-evaluating the regional safety situation, crew safety, and insurance risks. Analysts believe that the attack on the ship and the US military blockade have further increased market uncertainty. Although regional mediation efforts continue to advance, changes in commercial shipping activities show that the current development of military conflict is affecting the operational decisions of shipping companies to a greater extent than progress in diplomacy.
